There is a sad irony of a sort in hearing about the leadfoot in Santa
Monica. I've been saying for years -- based on hundreds of thousands of
miles of driving experience -- that the most dangerous car on the road
is not the Corvette, Jeep Wrangler, Mustang GT or any of the usual
suspects. It's the full-sized Buick sedan.
I've lost count of the number of times that I've come upon challenged
souls, well into their white-haired dotage, driving a big Buick.
They're swerving from shoulder to median and back to the shoulder,
running up my butt or running red lights with blissfully medicated
expressions on their faces.
Methinks an auto insurance actuary who knows how to crunch numbers would
arrive at the same conclusion. Buick already knows it. It's biggest
challenge, one that it is failing at despite the brand's sterling
reliability of the last few years, is that Buick owners are literally
dying off. Or in this case, dying others off.
